Chapter 11
(Newt POV)
"Sonya!" I exclaim and hug her as tight as I can "I missed you so so much."
"It's okay," she hugs me back "It took me so long to find you guys, you have no clue. I had to track Brenda's phone,"
"At least your here!" She giggles and hugs her hard. Minho begins to drive again as we all sit down,there's space for Sonya luckily. We watch as the rain pours onto the dark night sky and everyone's completely silent.
"Tomorrow we're going to find a permanent place," I announce to everyone as my eyes begin to droop, it had been a very long day. I sigh and whisper goodnight to everyone before falling asleep.

I wake up in the morning to see I was the last one awake and Tommy was driving. I peck his lips gently as I look at the time. Half one in the afternoon,I had been asleep for that long? I shake the idea out of my head.
"Pull up here," Brenda points to a car park as Tommy does so "We'll hunt for somewhere to stay. I'm two's,"
I nod as Sonya takes my arm and we climb out. Walking into the forest.
"Newt wait!" Tommy kisses me hard "I love you," he whispers and walks out "Forever."
(Thomas POV)
I walk down the forest path with Brenda. We stop and sit down on a bench,looking ahed.
"What are you thinking about?" She asks.
"Newt," I answer. I can see her smile out of the corner of my eye.
"Of course,"
"You know Newt used to pretend not to be smart,"
"Our Newt?" She asks,as if she can't believe it.
"Yeah. I think I was the only one who knew."
"Because you loved him. When you love someone,you know every single part of them. Well,you seem to. I remember the day you starting to like him Tom,you just muttered to me about a crush and I watched it grow and grow. You were eleven? It took two years,and it worked out. That's what I call a love story,and not one of those soppy romance novels. A real one,a page-turner."
"What happens if I loose him?"
"I think everything's going to be fine Thomas," she smiles and squeezes my hand "Everyone is going to get what they want. I promise you,I know it."
"How do you know that?"
"It's the only thing I believe in,because it's the only thing inside my head I've got left to count on,"
I smile and hug her "You've got me."
"I'm glad, I love you Tom,"
"I love you too."
(Newt POV)
We sit there-Me and Sonya overlooking a stream as we throw rocks in gently.
Sonya sighs "Have you ever heard the term regression to the mean?"
"Isn't it a way of saying things will always even out?" I mutter "So like things will always get better,"
"More like things can't always be bad. Newt,I'm trying to tell you that's it's gonna be okay. It has to be. People seem weak, but they're strong. They seem strong, but they're weak. But we are strong, each in our purpose, and we are all more strong together."
I nod slowly at her encouraging and inspiring words as she rests my head on her shoulder, stroking my hair.
"Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you," she tells me this them pauses for a moment "Let's go and find the others."
We walk back to the car to see Minho and Teresa laughing together. A smile as a warmth buzzes through me.
"Brenda and Tom are about six miles away," Teresa explains "We said we'll go pick them up."
I smile and nod as I sit in the back with Sonya,watching out onto the road as my eyes gently close,
Isn't it amazing how life is one thing then in an instant it becomes something else? We all had hope. We all were going to make it. Sonya was right,it would be okay.
"MINHO STOP!"
Teresa's scream sends me bursting awake as I see another car,Ben at the side of the road as they smash together. My eyes squeeze shut as I scream Tommy's name and I'm flown backwards even with the seatbelt on. I feel fire,I see darkness. Am I dying,is that what this is?
New chapter hopefully up tonight!
